Donald Trump warns against actions that could ‘interfere with Syria’s evolution’ amid new Israeli incursion, strikes.
United States President Donald Trump has called on Israel to maintain “strong and true” dialogue with Syria, adding it is very important “that nothing takes place that will interfere with Syria’s evolution into a prosperous state”.
The statement on Truth Social on Monday came days after Israel launched its latest incursion and strikes on Syria, killing 13 people in the countryside outside of Damascus in what the fledgling government of President Ahmed al-Sharaa decried as a “war crime”.
In the post, Trump did not specifically reference the Israeli incursion, the latest of a series of operations since Israel expanded its occupation in Syria’s south following the toppling of longtime leader Bashar al-Assad in December of last year.
Instead, Trump heaped praise on the new Syrian government under al-Sharaa, which has vowed to unify the country following years of civil war that fuelled sectarian distrust.
“The United States is very satisfied with the results displayed, through hard work and determination, in the Country of Syria,” he said.
